A year ago Ace was a loving boy great with everything from meeting new people, to children and other animals. Sadly after an incident occurred with a drunk stranger out on a walk 6 months ago, Ace became very fearful to anyone he encountered. Something his previous owner wasn’t prepared for or able to manage. Ace is a typical pocket rocket – full of beans and makes us laugh every day! Since coming to us Ace has slowly come out of his shell and is now a different dog. He longs for affection, is very friendly with people he meets and loves his walks with our volunteers. Despite all the improvement and new friends he’s made, Ace will need a child and pet free home. His new owners will need to give him time & patience to decompress and help him love life again! If you feel you can be Ace’s special someone then please get in touch. He is such a lovely boy who really just needs some love, tlc and reassurance after such a traumatic time. We have no doubt Ace will then give you so much back in return. Ace is currently in a foster home on the Wirral

Meet our lovely boy Al Pacino, a greyhound lurcher type around 6 years old. Al Pacino has sadly come from a very traumatic background and we suspect he may have been used in illegal dog sports. He bears several scars from his past, but he is now safe and ready for a new chapter in life.He is a skinny lad with some old injuries which can cause him to limp when walking, but this does not seem to bother him. Despite everything he has been through, he remains incredibly sweet natured and is always excited to get out and about.Al Pacino has a missing part of his nose, which he takes completely in his stride. He continues to show us what a resilient and loving boy he is every day.Al sniffing the flowersAl showing off his smileAl waiting for a treatAl posing for his photoHe enjoys his walks and is very engaged with the world around him, including people watching and squirrel watching.He walks well on the lead and enjoys gentle strolls, enrichment and mental stimulation. He would be best suited to a peaceful home where he can retire in comfort, while still enjoying lots of short walks and brain games to keep him happy and engaged.Al Pacino could potentially live with other neutered, calm natured dogs following successful introductions. We feel he may also be suitable to live with older children aged 14 plus depending on meets at the centre.Al would benefit from joint supplements to help support his mobility as he builds up his stamina. He is also awaiting x rays just to try to have a better understanding of his pervious injuries.Despite everything in his past, there is still no stopping this boy. He is ready to move forward and enjoy the good life he truly deserves.Cardiff Dogs HomeWestpoint Industrial EstatePenarth RoadCardiffCF11 8JQWe work in partnership with:Support us by making a donation or by donating food and other items.All donations are very gratefully received.© Cardiff Dogs Home 2024 - Website designed by Cardiff Council Web Team

Are you right for Alfie?Alfie is looking for an active home who want to teach him some fun skills and put his brain to use. He prefers the company of humans, so much so, that he would prefer to to be the only pet in the home. Alfie mostly will ignore dogs out and about, especially if you have a ball for a distraction. Alfie likes to keep things that he finds on the floor and may resist handing them over over, so an older teen -adult home would be more suitable for him in these situations. He struggles with being left home alone, so his new owners need to ensure that he not on his own for long lengths of time initially, and for any time being left to be built up very gradually. Alfie likes to sleep in a cosy crate den overnight as he finds this comforting and is he is fully housetrained. Alfie travels well in the car, he just needs a little helping hand getting in. Alfie's adopters will need to commit to helping him on his weight loss journey, so that he can fully enjoy going on adventures!Is Alfie right for you?Alfie thrives when he is outdoors and playing with his ball and will be perfect for an active household. He can live with children of secondary age and upwards who will also follow the advice given when Alfie does pick up items he shouldn't have and understand not to take things directly off him. Further training is essential for Alfie, so if you feel you have the time and patience to help Alfie move forward in his new journey, then please click that favourite button! He will be worth the effort.

Meet gorgeous Aloy (emphasis on the A, not like ‘alloy’…she’s not a wheel!), she’s an absolute sweetie-pie melting hearts on the block! Aloy is gentle, friendly and fun…sometimes surprises us with a zoomie, but prefers to stay calm and collected most of the time! And she loves a cuddle or twelve! She’s fine being left alone in the house for short periods, to be built up gradually in a new home. She gets on well with the other super-snoots here although isn’t a huge fan of small, titchy dogs, they just don’t measure up! And don’t look too long into her beautiful dark eyes if you’re not serious about taking her home…she’ll melt you!

Here’s Amos, a super friendly, super waggy handsome fella looking for just 3 things in life…fuss, fuss & FUSS! Oh, and if you can throw in a sofa too, he’ll be so chuffed! He loves attention and will happily take fuss all day long. Amos is a playful, happy chap who loves his squeaky toys. He’s not allowed squeaky toys here as it drives all the other long dogs bonkers in their kennels, so we’re desperate to get him homed so he can enjoy them again! If he gets a little too excited he can forget his manners and be a little mouthy, this should improve with a little training and settling into a routine but we’d recommend homing him with adults and older children. Amos gets on great with the other noodles on the block and loves a good runaround. He’s not so keen on smaller dogs and will need further socialisation here. He could live as an only dog with an experienced owner, or as part of a household with other similar dogs. Yes, he needs a bit of work and some training in a few areas (who doesn’t?!), but most of all, this fun, happy boy just needs a chance. He really is a smasher Could you be the person that brings squeaky toys back into Amos’s life? He’ll love you forever!

Some of you may remember Apollo from 2024, after being locked away in a cupboard at 7 months old we stepped in and saved him offering him a much needed second chance! Apollo was rehomed, but sadly due to an incident with a young child he was returned to us. More information on this will be given to anyone interested, but moving forward he will need an adult only home. Within his last home it was reported that Apollo had become stranger reactive, but this isn’t something we’ve seen within the rescue so far. He’s meeting more & more volunteers with no issues, though he does take time for his true personality to shine through. Apollo loves his walks, often getting zoomies on the grass and won’t say no to a treat. He’s super affectionate and loveable once he’s bonded with you, which doesn’t take long, you’ll then have a loyal friend for life! We’re looking for a Cane Corso experienced home preferably that has the time & patience to help continue with Apollo’s training & socialisation. We’re also aware that he has lived with other dogs previously so pending successful introductions he could live with another large breed.

Archie is a handsome 2-year-old Labrador with a huge personality, a love of life, and so much potential just waiting to be unlocked. Sadly, Archie came into our care after an incident in his previous home led to the heartbreaking decision to have him euthanised. Thankfully, he was given a second chance, and since arriving with us he has done nothing but prove how much he deserves it. We are happy to discuss the circumstances surrounding his surrender with genuinely interested applicants. Since joining us, Archie has become a firm favourite with our volunteers. He’s affectionate, friendly, and loves meeting people. Like many young Labradors, he approaches life with endless enthusiasm! He thrives when given clear boundaries, structure and consistency, and he’s looking for someone who will continue his training and help him become the very best version of himself. One thing we’ve been particularly impressed by is how well Archie behaves out and about. Our volunteers have taken him on trips to cafés, pet shops and other public places, where he has been an absolute superstar. He happily accepts attention from strangers, settles well, and even when reactive dogs or cats have passed by, he’s remained calm and simply carried on with his walk. One of our volunteers summed Archie up perfectly: “I’ve been walking Archie since the day he came in to us, and I can honestly say he’s never put a foot wrong with me. He can be super excited when he first comes out of the kennels, bouncing around like Tigger and mouthing the lead for the first minute, but if corrected he listens and settles straight away. He’s a typical Labrador—completely food mad (which is brilliant for training!), incredibly affectionate and a real lovable goofball. He loves his walks and if there’s a puddle, stream or any body of water nearby, he’s straight in! His dream day would definitely involve a trip to the beach. He’s quite strong on the lead at times and will benefit from some continued lead training, but he already knows how to sit, give a paw and has a lovely recall on a long line. He’s happy to play with other dogs but is equally content to ignore them and carry on walking when asked. I’ve taken him to cafés and pet shops, where he’s behaved brilliantly and enjoyed plenty of fuss from everyone he meets. He would make someone an incredibly fun, loyal and loving companion. Please give him the chance he deserves.” An active family who can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment and adventure. A home with another friendly dog could be considered, subject to successful introductions. Someone who’ll happily throw a ball… over and over again! Plenty of tasty treats to reward his training (he is a Labrador after all!). Archie isn’t looking for perfection—he’s looking for someone willing to invest in him. In return, you’ll gain an affectionate, fun-loving best friend who will make you laugh every single day. Could you be the person to give Archie the second chance he’s been waiting for? Everyone Meet Archie! Archie showing off his skills

07-07-26 Archie is such a sweet little man who came into our care from a breeder. He was adopted but has sadly been returned after his adopters felt they were not the right match for him.Archie formed a very strong bond with his female owner, but found it much harder to build a relationship with her husband, who was frequently away from home and therefore had very little opportunity to gain Archie's trust. When Archie becomes closely bonded to his favourite person, he can become protective of them. In his previous home, he nipped when he was sitting with his owner and her husband approached, so his new adopters will need to understand this behaviour and be prepared to continue building his confidence in a positive, patient way.Archie has settled back into rescue life well and is currently sharing his kennel with a lovely female dog, who he gets on very well with. He is a cuddly, affectionate little dog once he feels comfortable, although he isn't quite brave enough to take treats from our hands just yet.Although Archie gets on well with other dogs, he can become protective of his favourite person around them, so we think he would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where he can relax and build a close bond with his new family.As Archie has lived in a home before, he will already be familiar with the sights and sounds of home life. However, he may need a little reminding of his house training in a new environment. He walks well on a lead and enjoys his walks with volunteers.Archie is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with adopters who have experience of the breed and of rescue dogs. He will need people who are happy to give him the time and space he needs to settle and understand that he is safe.Archie is doing really well since returning to us and his confidence is growing all the time. He is such a loving little dog, and in the right home, we hope he will continue to thrive and become a devoted companion.

April 2026 Archie is a very handsome 5 year old male who’s finding life with two children under 3 years and a house move, very stressful. His owners feel that the household has become too loud and chaotic for him and they no longer have the time to constantly redirect and exhaust him with canine enrichment activities . Archie has shown obsessive behaviours with the need to chase the light reflections (e.g. sunlight coming through the curtains, reflection from a phone or metal, etc.). He whines and jumps at them, sometimes barking. They think it was triggered by a laser their son was playing with in a car, but this only lasted 5 minutes until they realised it was causing an issue, so are only guessing that this could be to blame. He is raw fed due to allergies according to a specialist, but he only ever tested for environmental factors. It’s believed that he’s allergic to dust mites and this improved massively when his owners changed the carpets to hard floors. Archie is fine to be left for a few hours with access to the hallway and landings and after exercise he happily snoozes on his bed. He is fine at home with a cat but will chase out in a walk. With other dogs on a walk he can be unpredictable, most of the time he is okay but his owner doesn’t let him engage in play as he can take it too far on times. He has a good recall to his owner and to his dog walker 3 short whistles/peeps with one long one to lay down. He also knows sit, down, touch and catch. Ocassionally, he won't like a dog his owner explains and particularly disliked a Vizsla that used to live near them. Since he was a puppy Archie has been living with young children aged 3 months, 2 years and 11 years, when the children are around he gets very over excited starts barking and chasing looking anxious. Archie has stayed with family members who were older and calmer and he thrived, he was more relaxed and settled quickly. With this in mind we will be looking for a calmer child free home - possibly with visiting children, potentially home workers or part time workers. A week ago Archie tore his tendon so is spending time resting/healing in his crate. The vets have considered giving him a mild sedative to relax him while he’s resting because of his light/shadow fixation. If you feel you could offer this handsome fella a calmer environment please contact us. Archie is currently in the Oxford area and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria insurance and his Adoption Contract. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply

Please meet Arctic! She is a very special girl looking for a very special home with patient, experienced adopters who will never give up on her and who will love her for exactly who she is.Arctic first came to us from a breeder in 2025. When she arrived, she was an extremely frightened and shut-down girl who found people and handling very overwhelming. Since then, life has been a bit of a rollercoaster for this special girl. She was adopted twice but has sadly found herself back in our care both times. Her first adoption sadly wasn't the right match due to her level of fear, as she could nip if pushed beyond her comfort zone. Her second return came after she accidentally escaped through the front door. In the panic of the situation, she bit her adopter when they tried to catch her, and it was decided that returning her to us was the best option.Arctic is now settling into foster care, where she has already started to show us more of her wonderful personality. She found the first couple of days quite stressful and spent a lot of time pacing while she explored her new surroundings, but she has settled well and is becoming much more relaxed. She is a very curious girl who likes to know what is going on and will happily follow her foster family from room to room to see what they are doing.She has been mostly clean during the day, although she has had the occasional overnight accident as she adjusts to her new routine. Arctic sleeps quietly overnight in her crate and is always pleased to see her foster carer in the morning, eagerly waiting for her breakfast.Arctic is still a very anxious girl and remains particularly worried about being touched or handled. However, she is already making gentle progress. She is slowly learning to trust her foster carer, who is able to carefully pick her up using a blanket and gently groom her, during which she will accept handling and strokes. She has even started choosing to sit on the sofa alongside her foster carer and the other dogs, although she is not yet comfortable with being touched whilst relaxing. Everything is very much on Arctic's terms, and she is showing that, with patience, she is capable of building trusting relationships.She will need a very special, adult-only home with adopters who have experience of scared ex-breeding dogs. If she feels pushed beyond her comfort zone, she can make the wrong decisions purely out of fear, so her new family will need to be patient, understanding and committed to helping her continue building her confidence over the long term. She may never be a lap dog, but she is a lovely girl who will show her affection in her own quiet ways, and watching her grow in confidence will be incredibly rewarding.Arctic had never experienced life in a home before her adoption. Although she spent around six months in her most recent home and is now continuing to learn in foster care, she will still need adopters who understand that she may need a refresher with house training and time to adjust to a new routine.She has started learning about wearing a harness and, once the warmer weather has passed, her foster carer will continue this training. She is still at the very beginning of her lead walking journey, so she will need a home with a secure garden where she can safely enjoy the outdoors while she builds her confidence.One thing Arctic has always loved is the company of other dogs. They are her greatest source of comfort and reassurance, and we feel she would thrive in a home with multiple confident resident dogs, as she relies on canine company so much. She has impeccable doggy manners and gets on brilliantly with all of the dogs in her foster home. She can have a bit of a strong personality, so her resident dogs will need to be happy with her occasionally being a little bossy. She is also happily living alongside a cat in foster care and takes no notice of them.Arctic is looking for a home that will love her for exactly who she is, rather than who they hope she might become. She is already showing that she enjoys the comforts of home, from curling up on a soft bed to relaxing on the sofa with her canine friends. With experienced adopters, patient guidance and confident canine companions by her side, we truly believe Arctic will continue to blossom and enjoy the happy, secure future she so deserves.When Arctic originally came to us, she had some fur loss, but this has grown back wonderfully. She also had an enlarged mammary gland, but our vets are not concerned about this at present, although it may require monitoring by her adopters and their own vet. She is currently receiving treatment for some small patches of chronic dermatitis on her lower lip.Arctic has been given the Gift of Life by Laura Woods
